How would a doctor treat a patient with liver cancer who has vomited blood?

First of all, we need to find out the cause of vomiting blood in liver cancer patients in order to prescribe the right medicine.

  • Severe gastrointestinal reactions caused by chemotherapy drugs, frequent nausea and vomiting resulting in acute pancreatic mucosal tears.
  • Vomiting blood after TACE procedure, transhepatic artery infusion chemotherapy, transhepatic artery embolization, and other treatments may cause impaired liver function, abnormal liver coagulation, and local ulceration by drug reflux.
  • Upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension caused by cirrhosis, etc.

The common treatment is to administer hemostatic drugs, fasting and close monitoring of vital signs; if the amount of vomiting is large, prompt anti-shock treatment and rapid blood volume replacement are given.

Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma can be treated with appropriate drugs to reduce portal pressure, acid-suppressing antiemetic drugs, hepatoprotective drugs, growth inhibitors, etc. If necessary, a three-chambered, two-cystic tube can be used to stop the bleeding by compression, or endoscopic ligature hemostasis treatment or surgery.
